From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sycophant, a term used in modern English, it refers to someone practicing sycophancy i.e. obedient flattery.

That guy paid a heavy price and is a hero in my mind. He has two young kids and a wife and Obama has kept a noose around him for over 5 years. I hope Trump will bring closure to this situation and the guy can operate out in the open.

Regardless of his actions in the election, assange is NOT a hero by any stretch of the imagination. That is ridiculous. How about putting troops’ lives in danger?

It is telling that the NY Times criminally obtained someones tax returns and published them (a Federally protected document by law) and the media is focused on the private emails of someone who fell for a phishing scam.

I don’t judge assange on his actions in the election. But assange is still a vile turd.

Ryan has to start running for his seat again in 6 months. If he defies DJT enough, he can be authentically primaried, and if he wins the primary, his RAT opponent can be voted in by a crossover vote. If he antagonizes POTUS a hair too much, he can be functionally unemployed by December, if he isn’t tossed by then.

The question on asante and this election is, is he telling the truth and are those e-mails real. The dems don’t claim they;’re not real. They say out was the Russians. I don’t care what kind of turd he is, he did as a great favor publishing those e-mails so the folks could see in their own words what crooks the dems are.

When Valachi testified agains the mob, he was a murderer and amafia soldier, but he helped the feds put away some bad guys. Some times to rescue our dropped keys, you have to get down in the gutter.

That’s OK, because I call Paul Ryan an IGNORANT ASS.

One small correction - Wikileaks did not hack the emails. Wikileaks published them after the hacker turned them over to Wikileaks. Everyone with at least half a brain knows that the source of the email breach was a DNC Bernie insider.

Yeah, but that was before DJT began re-shoring jobs. It won’t be a month or two longer before he can ‘command’ voters to rid us of those antagonistic to the MAGA effort.

I won’t cry about that if it happens. It would be something to see a real Trump supporting speaker and leader of the senate.

It didn’t take any sophisticated “hacking” or “hackers” to get into Podesta’s email account. He password was “password” and he responded to “phishing” emails. It just goes to show you that you don’t have to have any common sense to become a top Democrat Party operative. You just have to make the right friends at Democrat cocktail parties.

Well, Pauly, I watched Mr. Assange, and I believe him over every last one of you and those like you.

His record is perfect, and so is yours, but in the exact opposite way.

He proved his case to me, and I believe him.

Your turn. Good luck.

If Ryan wants to pick a fight with WikiLeaks, I say let him.

Will be most revealing to see what skeletons from Ryan’s closet will be leaked.

My first thought. Thou doth protest too much, PansyPaul

leftists = liberals. What’s the difference?

Not a big difference, but a “liberal” (someone who calls himself a “liberal”) is someone who is a leftist who doesn’t understand what leftism is, and thinks that he is somehow less extreme... thus “liberal”.

But yes, you are right, they are essentially equal.
